In order to supposedly achieve a smooth and efficient traffic through the city as well as a satisfactory social urban interaction experience, main traffic axes were enlarged and a large concrete slab was built for pedestrian above ground plane. A footbridge was later built in order to join the historical part of the city to the shopping center built on the slab. Fifty years later, urban planners completely changed paradigm in favor of a multimodal transport system implying among other things the complete destruction of the footbridge.
On this occasion, a young dance collective was asked to perform a rather unusual “ceremony”, celebrating the life and death of a rather urban still organic part of the city.
This paper intends to show how this improvisation sessions were technically and artistically imagined and instantiated on the 15th of december 2009. We will develop and motivate the choice of combining contact dance and computer-based live composition under those circumstances.
This modest experience raises a few questions concerning the possibility of art at the edge of the entertainment sphere. Moreover, this paper intends to explain how artists did play with urban atmospheres (sound light and movements) under working days conditions.

These particular sounds can be adjusted and aligned to a certain aesthetic, but this matter has not yet been much discussed by organ experts. This exploratory study mainly relies on a computer‐based listening test which has been carried out on two groups of people (musicians and ...

Psychat is a program designed to fulfill requirements of flexible sound quality testing. The core idea of this program is to offer a fully modular system manipulating objects like audio‐players, functions that present visual stimuli or other I/O devices and adaptive descriptor scales. With the help of a graphical editor test leaders can create their own test configuration. Several tests can be linked to a whole project and can be saved as ...

Fluctuations of the pressure difference between the foot and the mouth of the instrument results in jet velocity ...

Nous aborderons les processus d’imitation verbale, les lexicographies et les catégorisations en usage, ainsi que les expressions attachées aux perceptions sonores. L’enjeu sera de considérer les diverses logiques d’appréciation du son à partir du langage quotidien jusqu’aux savoirs « experts » tels qu’il se sont constitués dans la création musicale, la religion, le bruitage cinématographique, le langage informatique ou encore les concours de chants d’oiseaux. En abordant une pluralité de langues et de formes de « compétence », ces journées tenteront d’accéder à différentes théories du son et de ses effets. Elles articuleront les communications orales de chercheurs en anthropologie, musicologie, histoire et linguistique ; ainsi que des ateliers d’écoute et de pratique animés par des artistes.
